Please Help! Finding Family In New Orleans

[kidsleepdoc]

Please help! I have a family member who was hospitalized at LSU in New Orleans when Katrina hit. She is dying of ovarian cancer. We know the hospital has been evacuated and according the the other LSU hospitals, patients were sent to Lafayette, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio or Atlanta. I have called every hospital in Lafayette and Houston and they don't have her there. I also talked to the VA in Houston where planes are landing carrying evacuees and she hasn't come through there. I know there are many at the airport in New Orleans still, of which she could be one of. We also recognize that she may have died. We last talked to her Monday after the storm. I have left my name and her infor with the Red Cross. Does anyone have any ideas or inside tracts?:-( :-(

Susan,http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2005/hurricanes/list/ check out this website.
It lists names of people who have gotten out and where they have evacuated to. It may be of help for you. I can't think of anything else for now. My prayers with you and hope you find your loved one. God bless the gulf coast.

I can only imagine how worried you must be! You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers, as is everyone else who is "looking" for family members after Katrina!

First, I want to thank everyone for the kind words, thoughts and prayers. Last night, my sister's SIL received a text message on her phone from a volunteer. They have found my family member, she is alive and at the LSU field house in Baton Rouge. We are all sitting today awaiting a phone call from her.
